Beleaguered Roma coach Claudio Ranieri says he has no intention of leaving despite growing dissatisfaction with the team's recent performances.
Roma has lost three major matches in succession - to Inter Milan and Napoli in the Serie A and Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League - and about 200 fans protested outside the training center south of the city on Saturday.
Ranieri says "I am not jumping ship from Roma. I am not leaving and I won't be leaving at the end of the season either."
Ranieri has already been criticized this season for indecision over who his main strikers are, and leading scorer Marco Borriello was seen arguing with the coach after he started on the bench against Donetsk.
Roma is eighth in the Serie A standings, six points from the last qualifying spot for the Champions League.
